18 posts | 28 read | 15 to read
Evelyn Tester is sleepwalking through her suburban life until a late-night phone call startles her awake. Her husband, a prestigious psychiatrist, has been in an accident. And he isn t alone.Suddenly Evelyn s world isn t as tidy as she thought. And in the midst of it all is Juliette, not only her husband s secret lover but also his patient. If news of the affair were to get out, it would ruin more than just Evelyn s marriage. Although it s a bitter pill for Evelyn to swallow, protecting her family means staying silent even if, as she begins to discover, the night of the accident has consequences far more dangerous than the unmasking of an affair.But the more Evelyn learns about Juliette s picture-perfect life complete with a handsome, unsuspecting husband the more she yearns for revenge and satisfaction. Her growing obsession fuels her rage, burning away her complacency. What will be left of her after it flames out?"

This story line was so improbable, I just couldn't do it.

A quick read that I thought was going to be more of a psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator, but which turned out to be more of a small mystery combined with the main character trying to figure out how to deal with the crisis of her husband's affair, etc. I liked the alternating timelines of Before and After, I liked the main character, and I liked way it all wrapped up. But overall it turned out to be only an "okay" read.

This book had promise. It promised to be psychological suspense. It failed. There was never any mystery except when the suspense would begin. What it ended up being was a woman's midlife crises, journey of self discovery, and romance. I don't do romance, so to be fair, because I had no issues with the writing itself, a so-so instead of a pan. If this is you're type of book, you'll probably like it. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterE

RiotMom I had the same feelings about this one. Not a fan. 8y

Alternating timelines makes this feel like reading two completely different stories at the same time. One is thriller-ish and the other is suburban "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" and neither really works well. When they eventually merge into the present, I didn't particularly care and the resolution was pretty pat. ⭐️⭐️ solid meh.

Evelyn knows her husband is cheating on her, but she also believes that's not his only secret. But in her quest for answers and revenge, she might go too far. In alternating Before and After chapters, we see Evelyn's life fall apart and her attempts to become whole again. This novel portrays the difficulties of maintaining a marriage when trust is gone, as well as delving into the psychological turmoil of betrayal and guilt.

LiteraryinPA Yikes! 8y

this was a freebie either prime or samsung. it's ok. I like the before and after style of story telling captured here, and parts are very relatable.

I had a hard time getting into this book the first few chapters, but once I did, I was hooked. Lots of unexpected twists, and you really start to feel for Evelyn, wanting answers just as much as she does!

From the first page I could not put it down! I liked that the author alternated the Before and After chapters. There were definitely some twists and turns that I did not expect. It was really interesting to watch Evelyn go from a woman scorned, obsessed with her husbands lover to a self confident, self possessed woman. Definitely check this book out!

Decided to go with Evelyn, After for my October Kindle First pick. Which one did you pick? #amazon #kindle #kindlefirst

#kindlefirst. Help, what did you pick? I always have a hard time with these. Venom and Vanilla is probably not my cup of tea, and if It Is Well is Christian fiction, it's not either. The other four seem like possible contenders.

Sorry, the cut off title is Before You Leap by Houghton.

GlitteryOtters I chose Wake In Winter as my Kindle First for now, but was sufficiently drawn to The Woman Who Breathed Two Worlds to preorder it too. 8y
Mindyrecycles Thanks, @GlitteryOtters! Ill try that one, too. 🙂 8y
